The Italian industrial designer and Slamp‘s long-time collaborator Stefano Papi has realised this intricate pendant light which was presented earlier this year during Milan’s international lighting fair Euroluce. Inspired by Michelangelo’s starburst paving pattern adorning the Roman Piazza del Campidoglio, the polycarbonate ‘Morgana‘ lampshade ‘magically’ dangles midair thanks to the invisible wire and the design is available in four colourways: black, white, orange and blue.

The Italian furniture and lighting manufacturer Pedrali lanuched this new series of pendant lights, designed by the Italian architects duo Alberto Basaglia and Natalia Rota Nodari. ‘L002’ is composed of two shells of injected polycarbonate joined to an archetypal shape. While the inner shell in opal material diffuses the light and hides the bulb, the external shell allows different shades of colours.

Italian design brand Casamania has previewed a new chair by designer and architect Fabio Novembre. Inspired by the car brand Abarth (the auto-sport division of Fiat), the piece is suggestive of automobile design in both its form and choice of materials.

'Abarth Chair' by Fabio Novembre for Casamania

Polycarbonate and die-cast aluminium are used to express dynamic lines that refer to the speed and aerodynamics associated with car-racing. The seat element sits on a reverse cantilever base. The chair will be shown in April at the Milan Furniture Fair as part of Casamania’s new collection.

The Milan based designers Francisco Gomez Paz and Paolo Rizzatto designed this light and delicate chandelier for the Italian lighting manufacturer Luceplan. It is composed of moulded polycarbonate leafs, characterised by a glossy external surface and a textured internal surface treated with a series of concentric micro-prisms. Each leaf is mounted on a thin stem – these stems are finally fixed to a light metal structure, which exists in different sizes.

Ludovica and Roberto Palomba’s latest project for Foscarini is the result of a long research process that has led to the creation of Fly-Fly; a hanging lamp created with a polycarbonate injection moulding technique that guarantees 360° lighting.

The lamp features a special form that recalls an elegant hat, with wings that create a sensation of lightness and a satin finish that renders it a discrete, elegant presence that will enhance any environment with its aerial feel.
